Zwift - Install ANT+ Dongle to Windows Laptop

Cycplus ANT+  USB Dongle
I bought this ANT+  USB Dongle from Shoppe, that ordered it from China.
During this Covid 19 MCO (Movement Control Order), it takes 10 days to arrive.


Windows 7 64 bit automatically recognize it and install the appropriate driver software.
Paired it with Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter, Garmin Heart rate strap and  Garmin Cadence sensor.
I have a Garmin speed sensor, but Zwift only require Power source OR Speed sensor. Riding with Power sensor, Zwift will auto calculate the speed depend on the terrace of the course, drafting, the gradient , and your weight
My son's new Laptop with Windows 10 with gaming specification, running Zwift smoothly.
Windows 7 64 bits are the bare minimum requirements to run Zwift on PC
This is my 6 years old Laptop running Intel Core i5 - 6200U CPU @ 2.30 GHz with built in Nvidia Geforce graphic card. Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) has a huge impact on how well Zwift’s graphics render.
In my Old Computer here, the moving image is good in a single, double or triple riders, but it gets black with only riders flags/name displayed if the group of riders came in.
